We have tried the restaurant part of this place now, and were certainly not disappointed! We can recommend the "Picanha Rodizio", thin slices of succling beef, grilled Brazilian style, comes with beans, salad, veggies, rice etc. The beef is served on a side plate, and you have to tell the waitress to stop at some time, otherwise she keeps bringing more!

Have to go back soon to try out the other dishes.

We ate there last night and enjoyed it. My wife had picanha which was very good indeed as Rob F has mentioned. Comes with all the genuine Brasilian trimmings. Beware of the chillis! Brasilian chef and waitress. Decent Alentejo house wine at 7 Euros. All in all not bad at all.
